The safe-off feature on the TLR-8 G Sub is designed to prevent accidental activation of the light or laser. This helps conserve battery life by ensuring the unit is only operational when intended. This feature is particularly useful in high-stress situations where unintentional activation could lead to unnecessary battery drain. The device uses a single CR123A lithium battery, which is included, providing up to 1.5 hours of runtime for the light or light/laser combo and 11 hours for the laser alone.

The ambidextrous rear paddle switches on the TLR-8 G Sub offer flexibility and ease of use for both left- and right-handed users. This design allows for quick and intuitive activation of the light and laser, which is crucial in high-pressure situations where speed is essential. The interchangeable paddle switches also enable customization to suit individual preferences and shooting styles, enhancing overall user comfort and efficiency.

The TLR-8 G Sub is rated IPX4 for water resistance, making it suitable for use in adverse weather conditions such as rain. While it can withstand splashes of water, it is not designed for submersion. This level of water resistance ensures that the light and laser remain operational in wet environments, which is critical for tactical operations and self-defense scenarios.

The green laser on the TLR-8 G Sub offers superior visibility compared to red lasers, particularly in daylight conditions. However, this increased visibility comes at the cost of higher power consumption, which can reduce battery life. Users should consider the balance between visibility and battery efficiency when relying on the laser for extended periods. It’s important to carry spare batteries during prolonged use.

The TLR-8 G Sub is versatile enough for both tactical applications and everyday carry. Its compact design and powerful illumination make it suitable for self-defense and professional use. The user-enabled strobe function can be particularly useful in disorienting potential threats. However, users should consider the additional weight and bulk when carrying it as part of an everyday carry setup. For more on everyday carry essentials, visit our Everyday Carry Collection.

To ensure optimal performance, the TLR-8 G Sub requires regular maintenance, including cleaning the lens and checking the battery. Dirt and debris can accumulate on the lens, affecting light output and laser visibility. It’s also important to regularly inspect the battery compartment for corrosion and replace the battery as needed to prevent leakage.

The TLR-8 G Sub stands out in its class due to its combination of a high-output LED and a green laser. While many tactical lights offer either a light or a laser, the TLR-8 G Sub provides both in a compact form factor. Its durable anodized aluminum construction and IPX4 water resistance make it robust enough for demanding environments. However, users should weigh the benefits of its features against the need for frequent battery changes due to its power demands.
